Elon Musk is taking his feud with President Donald Trump a step further, posting on X that the reason the Jeffrey Epstein files haven’t been released is because Trump is in them.
“Time to drop the really big bomb,” Musk posted Thursday afternoon on X, formerly Twitter. ”[Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.
“Have a nice day, DJT!”
Epstein was a financier who died in prison while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges in 2019. In February, the White House promised to release a trove of documents related to the case, but what was ultimately released was largely already known.
The billionaire’s “really big bomb” may be more of a dud. It’s long been reported that Trump was on Epstein’s flight logs. But Musk’s post still signals an escalation in his sudden about-turn with Trump.
